Shipping Head Scores “Cruises to Nowhere”
TAMPA, Fla.. Nov. 30—(UP)— Week-end "cruises to nowhere," I which have been popular in the last year, especially out of the
ing League Probe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—(UP) —Peace moves at (wo poinls, on opposite aides of (he world, gave hope tonight of early agreement lo halt the informal Chlnese-Japa-nese war in Manchuria.
Japanese and Chinese delegates 'at the League of Nations council meetiug in Paris, announced tbeir governments were ready to accept, with minor reservations, the coun cil's plan for a neutral international commission to investigate the situation whilo both countries refraia from aggressive acts.
Authoritative Japanese sources in Washington received word that Wellington Koo, Chinese foreign minister .proposed that China withdraw her troops southward from Manchuria across the great wall, provided Japan did not advance on Chlnchow, an Important town south of the present war zone.
JAPAN MAKES MOVE
These two developments, which became public early tonight, actually are part of one whole. Japan, sensitive to foreign criticism or interference, has been trying for weeks to engage China .u direct negotiations .China refused, desiring tile help of the rest of the world for fear Japan, in negotiating, might impose harsh terms.
If the Japanese report proves accurate, It will then meim that Japan herself has made au Important move toward peace at the same time the League of Nations council finally won acceptance for its plan. The Japanese government, will be able to point out It has not accepted, but as a ges lure permitted international investigation.
